It's especially good for scrapes and grazes, as long as you clean them first.<br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/richardthelandlord/5001489218/<br /><br />It stings for a second or two, then the pain is gone as it's protecting any exposed nerve-endings - and it takes about 30 seconds to dry fully.<br /><br />Highly recommended. :-)Richard Nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289273.post-12454973695840351282010-09-18T11:09:47.408+01:002010-09-18T11:09:47.408+01:00Sarah, I love the idea of having an artist sprayin...Sarah, I love the idea of having an artist spraying a one-off shirt onto people!

This looks very interesting. I'm trying to imagine the fashion use for it. It seems like spraying this just right and getting the sleeves the way you want won't be easy.<br /><br />Do they trim it afterwards? The collar looks very even when she's moving it around, but not when they sprayed it on.<br /><br />Could be we will see spray on artists selling one off shirts that they paint on you while you wait - and pose.<br /><br />I do like that it can be dissolved and sprayed again. Could be very useful in disasters. Don't send clothing - send these spray cans. They'll fit every time.Sarah Laurensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252565450452195395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289273.post-79543474757269007222010-09-17T20:16:45.686+01:002010-09-17T20:16:45.686+01:00jj, I may have read Altered Carbon, I'm not su...jj, I may have read Altered Carbon, I'm not sure, but I know I haven't read the other two.

I keep meaning to go find the first two, because I liked this one so much (warning: it's quite brutal and violent at times, too.) The three books are, in order, "Altered Carbon", "Broken Carbon" and "Woken Furies".<br /><br /><b>Richard:</b> Your body hair would become part of your pseudo-fur, just like nature intended!<br /><br />Actually, if it peels off skin that easily, it might pull away from hair without pulling it out, also.jjdebenedictishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950592240599703771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289273.post-45586683439813989602010-09-17T19:01:12.518+01:002010-09-17T19:01:12.518+01:00Kitty, that's a good idea!

Morgan that had spray-on bathing suits.<br /><br />A great book, actually--the best thing about it was how it had all this incredible technology that the characters barely thought about, because to them it was normal. For example, at one point, the main character rails about all the idiots riding their hover-bikes along the beach highway at 300 km/hour while "wearing nothing but a spray-on bathing suit and a pair of flip-flops." It was just so amusing to see human nature portrayed perfectly in a very futuristic scenario.jjdebenedictishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950592240599703771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8289273.post-22645691006778146612010-09-17T18:53:41.405+01:002010-09-17T18:53:41.405+01:00I like the medical application side to this.
